Making a Cake Plate: Part One

I saw this sweet idea at a little antique store in Florida when I was visiting Elizabeth last fall.
I have kept it filed away in my head in the "things I want to try" file, and finally I did.
I thought they might make a nice, yet easy and  inexpensive Mother's Day Gift.
Two candlesticks and two plates from the thrift store.

Glue that works with glass
Glue rim of candlestick,  place plate on top; turn upside down, checking to make sure all is centered... dry according to glue instructions.





More to come.....

  5. You are amazing, and I'm so thankful you shared this!! I discovered a wonderful country cottage store here (in the Southwest, they are hard to come by!), and she had some of these on display. They were a bit pricey, though. I want to do this with my daughter. Thank you!!
